According to Werners mail, keyserver.net also has some problems. And
Newton will not be affected, apparently, as he doesn't have more than
one subkey.

My opinion is that almost anything is better than a 'network' that
consists of only one node and does not synchronize with the keyservers
most of the people are using.

The upcoming pksd 0.9.5 (which is what will emerge from the cvs code)
will not fix this issue yet, but just provide a stabilized codebase form
where developers will then continue. JHarris has written a patch for
this, though, and it is running on at least one keyserver so far (and
works for me). So, once 0.9.5 is out, I expect a 0.9.6 very soon after.
And keyserver operators will jump to it, I hope.

cheers
